    Camden Cyclists gets accused of rCLselfishnessrCY and rCLentitlementrCY after picture shows cyclists sitting inside cafe, but bikes left around tables outside

    We all know that Twitter is a weird echo chamber and it doesnrCOt take too
    long for trolls and critics to pile up on something rCo anything.

    But thererCOs a fair share of negative reaction coming all the way of Camden Cyclists, who shared an image of cyclists presumably enjoying some cake and coffee as their bikes lay around the tables outside the cafe, with the
    caption rCLRegents Park socialisingrCY.

    So a seat for the cyclists inside. And a seat for the cycles outside. But
    no seats left for anyone else,rCY wrote one Twitter user, while another said: rCLWhy would you post an image which will piss off non-cyclists even more
    than you probably do already?rCY.

    There were heaps and piles of other people repeating the same thing,
    showing concern for all the other customers (not pictured) who would be floundering to find a table to sit.

    However, one cyclist replied under the post: rCLThey met at Sunday morning at 7am. Rode for an hour and then had a coffee, giving the Inner Circle Cafe
    early morning business two hours before anybody else got there.rCY

    road.cc has contacted Camden Cyclists requesting a comment, but IrCOm interested to know how you all feel about thisrCa Feel free to comment below!

    "non-cyclists" = "normal people"?
